    Those are a tough find. I searched for a couple of years for the two I have for my SWB. The problem is the little retaining plastic mushroom portion that holds the plug into the hole usually breaks when trying to remove them from the dash...and then they're useless. They are just so brittle from age. I have an extra one from my search that I will give you, but I've only got one if that will help you. Careful when installing as they are very brittle. Hope this helps.

    That's a wonderful gesture. Hold off for right now since I need two. I'll look into remanufacturing although there is probably very little demand.

    Thanks.

    Frank, if it doesn't have to be perfect I found something that was close at my local friendly Ace hardware store.

    Like Ed, I found button-topped plastic plugs at the local hardware store... the choices were almond or brown.

    They were in a bin of different sized desk plugs, like for computer & lamp cords.

    Not sure what the small ones are actually for, but they worked great.

    Thirteen cents each. Rattle can satin black. No pix right now, will post one later.

    Ha! That made me laugh.

    I have a couple in my stash from cars we've cut up over the years, but all of them have at least one broken tab.
